Burn Lyrics by Sleep For Sleepers

Conditions

2011

[Verse 1]
A memory of the way that you were in a time
Where all we knew could tell
It's not about the skin that you're in
But the one inside who wears it well
If a troubled souls what you're into
Then welcome to the show
You keep your secrets held close to your chest
But you wish we all could know
We're trying to find all the words we could say
But you just need to let us in
[Chorus]
Burning it a both ends baby
Where is the girl that I once knew?
Traded in for quick, not painless
You can't afford, you can't afford what you've been through
[Verse 2]
I've got to say I don't see much control
In the way that you've been seeking fame
Don't give it up for the sake of a touch
Keep them closed and please don't stay the same
I see the way you spend your faith
I watch you spit some fire out
Not far, but near, the way you fear
Tell me how you're feeling now
[Chorus]
Burning it a both ends baby
Where is the girl that I once knew?
Traded in for quick, not painless
You can't afford, you can't afford what you've been through
[Bridge]
You're not defined by the grave at your feet
So tear down these walls for a chance to see you
[Chorus]
Burning it a both ends baby
Where is the girl that I once knew?
Traded in for quick, not painless
You can't afford, you can't afford what you've been through
[Muffled]
Burning it a both ends baby
Where is the girl that I once knew?
Traded in for quick, not painless
You can't afford, you can't afford
